About This Guide

If you are responsible for conﬁguring and managing Bay Networks

®

AN

®

and BN

®

(BCN

®

and BLN

®

) routers, read this guide to learn how to use the

Bay Command Console (BCC™).

To use the BCC, you should have some experience supporting a multivendor

internetworking system. You should be able to perform network device

conﬁguration, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

For additional sources of information about conﬁguring AN and BN routers, see

the task map for this release.

Study examples that illustrate how to conﬁgure, navigate, get help,

and perform other system tasks on an AN or BN router

Chapter 5

Note:

Because the BCC makes real-time changes to a device conﬁguration,

Bay Networks recommends that you ﬁrst learn about BCC behavior on a

device not connected to your production network. After you become

comfortable with using the BCC, run it on a device in your production

network.

Chapter 1

Overview of the BCC Interface

The BCC is a command-line interface for conﬁguring Bay Networks devices.

After logging on to a device, you access the BCC by entering the

bcc

command at

the Technician Interface prompt (F

igure 1-1).

Using the Bay Command Console (AN/BN Routers)

117383-A Rev. A

From the

bcc>

prompt, you can

• Run any system command not classiﬁed as “Technician Interface only.” (See

Appendix B, “System Commands.”)

• Use conﬁguration mode to perform tasks such as creating or deleting IP

interfaces on the router. Enter BCC conﬁguration mode by entering the

conﬁg

command at the bcc> prompt.

For tasks related to device management (managing ﬁles on the router, viewing

statistics or the event log, and so on), you can enter Technician Interface

commands directly at the BCC command-line prompt. (For a complete list of

system commands, refer to Appendix B.)

Platform Requirements

The BCC software requires 8 MB of dynamic RAM (DRAM) to run on AN and

BN (BLN/BCN) router platforms. In addition, a minimum of 1.5 MB of DRAM

must be available when you start the BCC interface.

Conﬁgurable Objects

Refer to the Release Notes for Router Software 12.00 for the most up-to-date

information about what services you can conﬁgure using the BCC on AN and BN

routers. (You can also obtain this information by entering the

help tree

command

at any BCC prompt.)

Number of BCC Sessions

You can open one BCC session per slot. For the AN router (a single-slot device),

this means you can open only one BCC session at a time. For a BCN or BLN

router (a multiple-slot device), you can open multiple concurrent BCC sessions,

but with only one session active per slot.

Note:

For more information about Technician Interface commands, refer to

Using Technician Interface Software.
